Buying a house is a big decision, and as an active-duty service member or veteran there are always extra variables to consider when making a real estate purchase. Timing is essential when you're searching for a home, and there's always a chance that you'll be moving again in a few years if you receive new orders. There are also some excellent benefits available to military home buyers if you know where to find them and how to take advantage of them. Our veteran-friendly real estate agents are here to help, with a guide to five mistakes to avoid as a service member shopping for a home.

VA loans are powerful tools for service members to purchase homes and offer a number of significant advantages. There is no required down payment for a VA loan, favorable interest rates are available, and credit requirements are more relaxed than with traditional loans. You can take advantage of the VA loan program while you are active-duty or after you have completed your service. Yet, VA loans also have some unique, complex rules, so it's important to understand how the process works. Our REALTORS® are here to help, with four tips for buying a home with a VA loan.

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest financial decisions that any of us make, and finding the right real estate agent is one of the best ways to make life easier when buying a house. This is especially true for military personnel (both active duty and retired) who often have unique needs when purchasing a home. From understanding the ins and outs of VA loans to helping you identify the right home in the short time frame you have to shop, our REALTORS® understand the needs of military home buyers. We've put together five key reasons why finding a military-friendly real estate agent is a must.

Securing a mortgage is one of the most important steps in buying a house, and there are programs available to help all home buyers find a loan that fits their needs. FHA loans, backed by the Federal Housing Administration, are often an appealing option for first-time home buyers, shoppers in the process of rebuilding credit, and for others who may have difficulty securing a traditional mortgage.
These loans were designed specifically to help more people own homes, while also providing protection for lenders. Our REALTORS® are happy to explain the basics of FHA loans, and why they're an attractive option for home buyers.
